1.35 million people die and 50 million are seriously injured on the world’s roads every year. Despite the growing efforts to improve road safety, the results are disappointing and there is a need for an urgent change. The joint Global Road Safety Initiative of the World Economic Forum (WEF) and the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) seeks to address this global challenge, with particular emphasis on low- and middle-income countries.

Funds are available through the FIA Road Safety Grants Programme in support of the 5 th Global UN Road Safety Week, which will take place from 6-12 May 2019. FIA Member Clubs can apply for grants up to €200,000.
